Federal Capital
A federal capital is a political entity, often a municipality or
capital city, that enjoys status as a seat of government in a federal
state. A federal capital is typically a city that physically
encompasses the offices and meeting places of its respective
government, where its location and relationship to subnational states
are fixed by law or federal constitution. Federal capitals may or may
not be considered states in themselves, and either exercise
significant political autonomy from the federation or are directly
ruled by the national government located within their premises, as
federal districts.
Examples of well-known federal capitals include Washington, D.C.,
which is not part of any
